Driver inserted priority
Driver inserted priority
Are there any examples in Australia or New Zealand of priority phases, be it for buses or trams, being triggered by closing of doors by drivers?

Presumably at traffic lights.
Watching how a tram in Canberra makes its way about, I suspected they have the ability to "call" the traffic lights when they are ready, as the tram's phase seems to coincide with just after the doors close.

It happens at some stops on the Sydney L2/3 lines.

Ok cool, thanks.
On high capacity tram routes it makes sense.
I believe its also used in Dubai as the trams never seem to wait long.
